Get ready for Harry Styles coverage on Saturday 28th February 2026!
Music fans across Europe are being offered a front-row experience of the 2026 BRIT Awards, as Bauer Media Audio prepares to deliver live coverage of the ceremony — including backstage moments with Harry Styles.
The global star is among the headline attractions at this year’s awards, which take place this Saturday at Manchester’s Co-op Live. In a major broadcast push, Bauer will extend its BRITs coverage to a potential audience of 63 million listeners across the continent.
In the UK, the event will be supported by KISS, Hits Radio and Absolute Radio. Absolute Radio will also play a key role on the night through its partnership with the Group of the Year award. The stations will be backstage at the event on Saturday 28th February 2026.
Coverage begins ahead of the ceremony, with Hits Radio Breakfast broadcasting live from the venue on Friday 27th February. Bauer’s news teams will complement the live programming with expanded editorial and digital reporting.
On the night itself, Chloe Burrows for KISS Breakfast and Fleur East for Hits Radio Breakfast will lead red carpet broadcasts, while additional updates will come directly from the winners’ room.
Harry Styles joins a performance line-up featuring Raye, Olivia Dean and Alex Warren. The nominee list includes major names such as Sam Fender, Calvin Harris and Ed Sheeran, ensuring a high-profile evening of music and celebration.
Beyond the UK, Bauer will distribute BRITs content across its European markets, including Ireland, Poland, Slovakia, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland and Portugal. Leading stations such as RMF FM, Mix Megapol and Rádio Comercial will carry material captured in Manchester.
Simon Myciunka, President of Bauer Media Audio, said: “Our strength is our scale. Across nine European countries, Bauer Media’s brands are not just broadcasters – they help shape culture.”
He added: “By capturing exclusive red carpet and winners’ room content in Manchester and sharing it with audiences from Portugal to Norway, we’re connecting fans to the artists and moments they love.”
